Land Rover Defender

Introduced in 1948, the Defender is the epitome of a robust off-road vehicle, much favoured by farmers, explorers, the Royal Family and various military, government and charity organisations around the world.

The vehicle's strength is its uncompromising off-road ability and relatively low-tech engineering: it's tough and easy to maintain.

Amazing fact: According to the official website, 75% of all Land Rovers ever made are still working.
